MJ Slater puts its second Mercedes-Benz Actros Edition 2 on the road

Carlisle-based MJ Slater has taken delivery of its second Mercedes-Benz Actros Edition 2.

Like its first Edition 2, which went on the road late last year, this new one has been supplied by Ciceley Commercials.

The limited edition trucks, which are two of 400 built, feature Moonstone Grey grilles and sun visors, above which are deep black panels with Edition 2 lettering.

Luxuries found inside the GigaSpace cabs include Nappa leather, tilting sunroofs, upgraded interactive versions of the twin-screen Multimedia Cockpit, Proximity Control Assist, Bi-xenon headlamps and flat screen TVs.

“We don’t hold back when it comes to choosing the best, most highly appointed trucks for our drivers,” said MD Mick Slater. “We consider it only fair, as they spend so much time in their vehicles.

“Our work means the lads are almost always away all week, every week – they spend more time in the cab than they do at home, so we want to make the living experience as comfortable as possible for them.”

The trucks join a nine-strong predominantly Mercedes fleet, and will be used to haul hauling mainly steel and concrete on standard, extendable, urban flatbed and Euroliner trailers.
